《西游记》第八十四章 伤心的国王

I wish I had money, Bajie moaned. All this food looks so good. The travelers were walking through a city in the Scarlet Kingdom. The streets were lined with people selling food and other goods. Stop thinking about food, Bajie, said Wujing. What's going on over there? asked the Tang monk. He pointed to a crowd of people reading a sign on a wall.

八戒嘟囔着：“我要是有钱就好了。” 这些吃的看起来都好美味啊。 师徒几人正走在朱紫国的一座城池里。 街道两旁挤满了卖吃食和其他货物的小贩。 悟净说：“八戒，别总想着吃了。” 唐僧问道：“那边发生什么事了？” 他伸手指向一群正围着看墙上告示的人。

The travelers walked over to the crowd. The sign read, The King of the Scarlet Kingdom is seeking help. Anyone who can defeat demons must report to the Royal Palace. The Tang Monks sighed. I don't want to delay our journey, but you three can defeat demons. We must report to the palace. Don't worry, Master, said Wu Kang. I'm great at defeating demons. This won't take long.

师徒几人朝那群人走了过去。 告示上写着： 朱紫国国王正在征召能人相助。 但凡能降妖除魔者，请到王宫报到。 唐僧叹了口气。 我本不想耽误我们取经的行程， 但你们三个都有降妖的本事。 我们得去王宫一趟。 悟空说：“师父别担心。” 我降妖最拿手了。 不会耽误多久的。

I hope they have food at the palace said Bajay. I'm starving The travelers arrived at the palace gate they spoke with a guard who then led them into the court The King sat on his throne looking very sad Your Majesty said the guard the Tang monk is here to see you He says his companions can defeat demons

八戒说：“希望王宫里有吃的，我快饿死了。” 师徒几人来到王宫门口，和守卫说明来意后，守卫便领着他们进了大殿。 国王坐在王座上，看起来非常难过。 守卫说：“陛下，唐僧前来求见。” 他说他的徒弟们可以降妖除魔。

The king looked up but didn't say anything. The guard whispered to the travelers, His majesty is very upset. If you can help him, please do. Wukong walked up to the king. Greetings, your majesty. I am Sun Wukong, king of the Fruit and Flower Mountain. You need someone who can defeat demons. Well, here I am.

国王抬起头，什么也没说。 守卫小声对师徒几人说： “我们陛下心情很差。” “要是你们能帮到他，就请多费心吧。” 悟空走到国王面前。 “陛下您好。” “我是花果山美猴王孙悟空。” “您不是要找能降妖的人吗？” “我这不就来了嘛。”

Suddenly, the king covered his face with his hands and burst out crying. Oh, it's terrible, cried the king. I have no hope anymore. Wukong scratched his head. What's wrong? The queen, my wife, cried the king. I'll never. Oh, it's terrible. Wukong frowned. Your majesty, stop crying.

突然，国王双手捂着脸，大哭了起来。 国王哭着说：“哦，太惨了啊。” “我已经没有任何指望了。” 悟空挠了挠头。 “出什么事了？” 国王哭喊道：“是我的王后，我的妻子啊。” “我再也见不到她……” “哦，太惨了啊。” 悟空皱起了眉头。 “陛下，您先别哭了。”
